San Antonio Symphony Returns To KPAC Airwaves

On Saturday, August 5, the San Antonio Symphony returns to the airwaves for a ten-week series of concerts featuring some of the orchestra’s best performances from the 2016-17 season. The programs, hosted by San Antonio’s Ricardo Chavira, air at 7 p.m. Saturdays as part of TPR’s ongoing “Performance Saturday” program featuring locally recorded classical music concerts.

The broadcast season also features three concerts from the San Antonio Symphony’s Mozart Festival, highlighting music of one of the most beloved composers of all time, including choral music, piano concerti, and of course his bright, glorious symphonies.
